While Angelina Jolie has not officially signed on to return for Wanted 2, Timur Bekmambetov has worked out a way for her character to return, despite shooting herself in the head at the end of the first film.

“If you remember from the first film, we have a recovery room with the baths of wax,” Bekmambetov told MTV News. “We know how to do this, but it’s still tough to do, because the bullet is inside her head.”

“But there has to be a reason for her to come back… and we know the reason,” he added. “I think we found the reason for her to come back.”

The filmmaker said the story behind her return from the dead still trumps all other elements, but he laughed.

“we are trying hard, She was kind of… dead,”
